IllegalArgumentException 'value' 的每个元素都必须是有效的托管对象

Question

Below given is a fragment(PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment) which takes values from 2 other fragment(PurchaseItemsFragment and PurchaseAddPayedEmployeeFragment). I have 3 model classes. 1. for the whole purchase, 2. for item details, 3 . for the employee details who made the payment. 2 and 3 are also a member in model class 1. I am getting illegalArgumentException. posting the codes and the logs below. Any help is greatly appreiated. TIA

import io.realm.Realm;
import io.realm.RealmList;
import io.realm.RealmResults;
public class PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment extends BaseFragment implements PurchaseAddPayedEmployeeFragment.OnFragmentInteraction {

    private Realm mRealm;
    private Purchase mPurchase;
    private ArrayList<PayedEmployee> mPayedEmployees = new ArrayList<>();

    public PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    public static PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment newInstance(Purchase purchase) {
        PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment fragment = new PurchaseFinalDetailsFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString(ARG_PURCHASE, NavigationUtils.getStringForObject(purchase));
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;

            mDBPurchase.setCredit(Double.parseDouble(creditEditText.getText().toString()));

            for (int i = 0; i < mPurchase.getPurchaseItems().size(); i++) {
                mDBPurchaseItem.setName(mPurchase.getPurchaseItems().get(i).getName());
                mDBPurchaseQtyItem.setItem(mDBPurchaseItem);

            }
            purchaseQtyItemRealmList.add(mDBPurchaseQtyItem);

        } 
    }
    private void addDataToRealm(DBPurchase model) {
        mRealm.beginTransaction();
        DBPurchase dbPurchaseModel = mRealm.createObject(DBPurchase.class);
        dbPurchaseModel.setId(id);

        mRealm.commitTransaction();
        //purchaseFinalDetailsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        id++;
    }

   }

model class is:

public class DBPurchase extends RealmObject {

    private int id;

    private RealmList<DBPurchaseQtyItem> items;

    private double totalAmount;

    private double amountPayed;

    private double credit;

    private Date createdAt = new Date();

    private Date lastUpdatedAt;

    public int getId() {

    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public RealmList<DBPurchaseQtyItem> getItems() {
        return items;
    }

    public void setItems(RealmList<DBPurchaseQtyItem> items) {
        this.items = items;
    }

    public double getTotalAmount() {
        return totalAmount;
    }

    public void setTotalAmount(double totalAmount) {
        this.totalAmount = totalAmount;
    }

    public double getAmountPayed() {
        return amountPayed;
    }

    public void setAmountPayed(double amountPayed) {
        this.amountPayed = amountPayed;
    }

    public double getCredit() {
        return credit;
    }

    public void setCredit(double credit) {
        this.credit = credit;
    }

    public RealmList<DBPurchaseEmployee> getPayedEmployees() {
        return payedEmployees;
    }

    public void setPayedEmployees(RealmList<DBPurchaseEmployee> payedEmployees) {
        this.payedEmployees = payedEmployees;
    }

    public Date getCreatedAt() {
        return createdAt;
    }

    public void setCreatedAt(Date createdAt) {
        this.createdAt = createdAt;
    }

    public Date getLastUpdatedAt() {
        return lastUpdatedAt;
    }

    public void setLastUpdatedAt(Date lastUpdatedAt) {
        this.lastUpdatedAt = lastUpdatedAt;
    }
}

DBPurchaseQtyItem and DBPurchase Employee itself are model classes which extends realmObject. I am getting illegalArgumentException. Posting the log below:

Answer 1

According to the exception,

dbPurchaseModel.setItems(purchaseQtyItemRealmList); // <-- this line

setting the unmanaged RealmList as the field of a managed object is not possible.

So instead of

DBPurchase dbPurchaseModel = mRealm.createObject(DBPurchase.class);

it should be

DBPurchase dbPurchaseModel = new DBPurchase();

and

mRealm.insertOrUpdate(dbPurchaseModel); // copyToRealmOrUpdate() before 1.1.1
mRealm.commitTransaction();

---

Although I'd be wary of the static List<...> s (and especially unmanaged RealmLists), it's generally an indicator of wrong design choice.

Answer 2

@EpicPandaForce's answer helped me. I am just posting my working code snippet.

beware: the old objects that were replaced still stick around in the database after this re-assigning operation. you may want to mutate the existing list instead of re-assigning it.

kotlin:

// replacing a list
val newList = listContents.map { RealmString(it) }
db.db.executeTransaction { database ->
    queriedList.realmList = RealmList(*database.copyToRealm(newList).toTypedArray())
}

// replacing a list element
val newElement = RealmString("wow")
db.db.executeTransaction { database ->
    queriedList.realmList[0] = database.copyToRealm(newElement)
}
